We Head Deep Into the Jungle to Explore the Ivory Citadel Slot From Microgaming/Just for the Win!
32Red Casino has just added the latest slot release from Microgaming /Just for the Win titled Ivory Citadel to their casino, a busy month of slot from Microgaming, you can expect further slot titles such as North Storm (Rabcat), Treasures of Lion City (Pulse 8 Studios) and Stumpy McDoodles (Foxium) to be released during December.
The Ivory Citadel slot is a regular 5×3 20 fixed payline machine with an air of mystery set in the jungles of West Asia, the main feature to be aware of in the base game is the heavily stacked symbols along with a special Mystery Symbol which will transform into any other random including wilds when landing in view on the reels (just not the scatters!) hopefully creating additional wins.
The main bonus round is triggered by landing 3 or more of the scatter symbols with any extra scatters giving extra free spins which could be key to seeing the slots biggest potential.
During the bonus round the same Mystery symbol feature is in play, with the addition that when these land in view they become sticky and will stay fixed in that reel position for the rest of the bonus round.
A further twist is that if you manage for fill any reel completely with the Mystery symbols then these automatically then get transformed into wild symbols for the remainder of the free spins, making winning combinations a lot easier.
Check out the gameplay and bonus features in the gameplay video below.

Overall Opinions
Whilst there is nothing too groundbreaking in terms of new features in the Ivory Citadel it is a fairly solid medium variance slot, the regular base game hits are frequent and keep the gameplay interesting with a chance of the odd decent win or two also thanks to the mystery symbols, regular bonus triggers also help to make sure things get spiced up too.
In our playtests we had bonus rounds in the range of around 10x stake up to 150x stake, the key to the biggest wins are most likely from the 4 or 5 scatter triggers or lots of mystery symbols landing in good positions very early. The extra twist of converting the Mystery symbols into wilds for filling up a reel with Mystery symbols is a nice touch also giving you an extra chance of scoring wins.
Overall it’s a solid 20 payline slot, probably not one you should immediately rush online to play, but worth checking out for a bonus round or 2 during your next slot session.
